As such, they aren’t cheap. The Elite V1 unfletched shafts I bought cost $110 per six-pack — including the inserts. That is one of Victory’s most expensive hunting shafts. But there certainly are ...

However, because Easton offers many insert options and HIT collars, bowhunters can design their 5.0 as flamethrowers or middle-of-the-road weight shafts focused on high FOC (front of center).

That’s a hammer. A 29-inch bare shaft weighs 348 grains before a single component is added. The new FMJ Max also is a 5mm arrow with the same construction as the FMJ, but a 300-spine shaft weighs 10.3 ...

Spine is simply the arrow's stiffness, and it is labeled right on the shaft with numbers like 500, 400, 340, 350, 250, and so on. Many new archers mistake these numbers for the arrow's grain weight.
